Panting, sweating even though it’s cold out, but you made it to the top! This area, aptly named “the back of the horse,” is the top of the sand dunes. Ocean on one side and trails of ants crawling up the other side make for an interesting and unexpected view in Japan. Wait, those are people, not ants. It’s a bit tricky to walk on sand especially up and down steep slopes, so please watch your footing. This free attraction is worth seeing when you come to Tottori. Actually, it’s the main attraction and reason you may come to Tottori, so make the most of it and climb the hill if you are able.

Tottori sand dune is the most famous dune in Japan, but the scale is not as large as I had initially expected. Nonetheless, it is definitely worth visiting when you are in the area. There are plenty of parking lots around the site. Make sure to be prepared with extra socks since you will certainly have sands in your shoes after walking around the dune.

After having enough with the view of the dunes, enjoying the sunset view here is a bonus. A little side notes: be aware of the schedule for the last bus if you don't use private transportation. It gets tricky after everything's dark. This beautiful place could suddenly become an empty horror scenery (for me, at least).

Pretty neat place to go and see. It is a surprising find in this province. Some pretty nifty gift shops around too with a information center where you can wash up and get a cool example of how some of the dunes move around.

Tottori prefectures most famous site? Probably these sand dunes. Take a cable car from the top and then walk up and run down the dunes. It was a nice experience and easy to get to via bus from tottori station.

Unforgettable experience!!! Must visit to explore Coast sand dune :) Take 600 yen bus from Tottori station is the easiest way to get here! The 600 yen bus runs only weekend :)
